Flapper, my chatterbox pet duck

Okay, the bad news. I haven't wanted to announce this, but Amos and Andie were killed by a coyote. I almost sent Quacker to someone else, but decided to give it one more try. I strengthened the fence into the yard and built a very large pen where I can keep the ducks when no one is home. It's very large so they don't mind. Also, my wife and I work different hours so someone is often home. I got a new duck (a Pekin) about a year ago and named her "Flapper." She and Quacker are very happy together.

Here you see me feeding Flapper mealworms. I'd already been feeding Quacker, which is why he wasn't interested.

I was told that Ducks don't bite. Is that true?

[Bubbaist]

@jci10 They bite, but some species can't bite very hard.

@Onexploits most birds got tongues, but most of them can't push them out of the beak

"Forget mealworms, there's a pool right here."

@Valles923 ya right, nothing more to say about :) just don't like those "u're bad cause u kill a animal" stuff from some vegeterian. it's kinda annoying sometimes ^^

[Valles923]

@NotUnymous Well when you put it like that, of course. Stores make it easier for us to get food. What I am trying to get at is : I myself wouldn't be able to handle getting an animals blood on my hands and the thought that I just killed something. I know there are some people that can handle it but I have too much remorse for my own good.

@Valles923 i think less people would eat veggi if they have to grow it on their own... -.-
